Fresh Blue Crabs

The last time I went to Nicks in the Sticks for Fresh Blue Crabs, we followed up the disappointment by going to the Seabar to eat dinner. I won't be back to eat the crabs.

That's too bad. Never had a disappointment with crabs sitting in front of me.

The "Fresh" Crabs presented which we tried to eat had been frozen (and Freezer burned to boot!:bang:). The meat would not separate from the shells. Totally disappointed. I will wait until the "select" (big ones) come in and go to my favorite little undisclosed crab house in PCB.

They (Nicks) catch their own crabs and do not have time to freeze them.....sell them too quickly. You might be mistaken for "Snow Crabs". They are not caught around here and are shipped in.

By the way...........we rode by boat this last weekend and ate crabs til we couldn't move and just for the record they were as great or probably even better than I've had in awhile.

You need to give it another try! :lol:

Maybe I will. For the record, I am very familiar with the Blue Crabs, and the ones which we were served were definitely frozen and freezer burned.

There is NOTHING like a blue crab. When I was in Alaska and Seattle, all I wanted was crab. I wanted that huge Alaskan crab and had some on the ship...Yuck. I also tried Dungeness Crab...Yuck. Just give me some good lump.

We went this past Saturday to Nick's, and the blue crabs were excellent as were the steamed shrimp.
